To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
